What All That Taxpayer Money Can Buy

LET the unregulated excesses of the free market collapse it. Let the chips fall where they may.

We'll survive. We always do.

These criminals wanted to gamble like greedy addicts with cotton candy assets, then they should suffer the consequences.

Who do they think they're kidding? Emergency? Please. They planned this bailout as a contingency months ago. Now, 40-odd days before a huge election, they want us to close our eyes and grab our ankles while they rob and rape us blind.

ENOUGH!

If we've got $700,000,000,000 to throw around, then set up an emergency fund and infuse it with cash so that when the bottom falls out and the Second Great Depression hits the hardest, the folks who need the most assistance to stay alive can get it. Do you know what all that taxpayer money can buy?

The next congress, not this one, sullied by Bush's bullshit, can get to work on legislation for some real reform under President Obama. We grow from there.

This entire crisis was orchestrated by a chain of fools, bought-and-paid-for politicians and the lobbyists who own them, who are spitting out one dying gasp before they go home and have their criminal asses voted out of office.

FUCK. Them.

They can pool together an "emergency" fund from all those off-shore bank accounts busting with money they NEVER PAID TAXES ON and bail out themselves.

This pisses me off too. When I think of the sneering derision that Republicans had for single moms on welfare. The decades of insisting they can't afford to give "handouts" to the homeless, veterans, the poor. This is so UNJUST!

That neo-con beast raised it's ugly head here in Canada too. I don't want to see it again.
